\nEdited by Hans-Christian Jasch and Christoph Kreutzm\u00fcller
\nTranslated from the German by Charlotte Kreutzm\u00fcller-Hughes and Jane Paulick<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On 20 January 1942, fifteen senior German government officials attended a short meeting in Berlin to discuss the deportation and murder of the Jews of Nazi-occupied Europe. Despite lasting less than two hours, the Wannsee Conference is today understood as a signal episode in the history of the Holocaust, exemplifying the labor division and bureaucratization that made the \u201cFinal Solution\u201d possible. Yet while the conference itself has been exhaustively researched, many of its attendees remain relatively obscure. Combining accessible prose with scholarly rigor,\u00a0The Participants<\/em>\u00a0presents fascinating profiles of the all-too-human men who implemented some of the most inhuman acts in history.<\/p>\n
